An introduction to both the techniques and aesthetics of black and white photography as a means of self-expression. Systematic instruction in darkroom techniques along with weekly criticism of individual work will provide the student with a solid basic understanding of the use of the camera as an expressive tool. The student must obtain within the first week of class: 1) a camera (35mm or 21/4”) with fully adjustable f/stops and shutter speeds, 2) a hand-held reflected light exposure meter. No previous darkroom experience is required. This class is open only to Upper College students who have successfully moderated in disciplines other than Photography.

PHOT 105 Photographic Seeing

Stephen Shore

. T . . .

10:10 - 1:10 pm

WDS

PART

Beyond the material technique of photography lies a visual technique. This involves learning to see the way a camera sees; learning how a photograph, by its nature, transforms the world in front of the camera. The first half of the semester is devoted to exploring this visual grammar of photography and how it clarifies a photograph's meaning and the photographer's intent. During the second half of the semester, students pursue independent projects, putting their visual understanding into practice. Prerequisite: Photography 101 or 103. Not available for on-line registration. Class size: 12

PHOT 106 Light

Larry Fink

1:30 - 4:30 pm

WDS

PART

Light is the co-author of image. Light can be brazen or bland. It can dramatize or simply describe. This course deals with the exploration of found light or artificially detonated light - strobe. Each week the assignments alternate between real or natural light and artificial or created light. These exercises attempt to clarify the differences and the similarities between the two kinds and how light serves the vision of the light within. In the second half of the semester each student undertakes an individual project based on what has already been experienced. Learning how to control light broadens a photographer's perception of the ambient options it offers. Prerequisite: Photography 101 or 103. Not available for on-line registration. Class size: 12

PHOT 109 Composition

Gilles Peress

. . W . .

1:30 - 4:30 pm

WDS

PART

Besides reviewing the basic elements of craft in black and white film processing and printing (including light metering, usage of the depth of field, etc.), this second-semester 100-level course will focus on composition and will initiate the thought process for the students on this issue. In order to understand compositional strategies, we will look not only at photography and master photographers with an understanding as to how format effects composition, but we will also look at painting in order to widen our knowledge. Besides pursuing exercises that deal with the basics of craft and exposure, we will also explore composition-based exercises to enlarge our visual vocabulary. The goal is to better allow students to make choices for their personal, semester-long projects aimed at creating an individual language at the convergence of form and content. Pre-requisite: Photo 101 or 103. Not available for on-line registration. Class size: 12

View cameras were the first cameras and were the primary photographic tool for the first half of photography’s history. They offer unexcelled clarity, tonality, and image control. The operation of the view camera and advanced darkroom techniques are demonstrated in this course. The class explores the expressive potential of the conscious use of the camera’s precise control of the image. Students are supplied with 4" x 5" camera outfits. Admission by portfolio.

PART

To prepare the student for ongoing independent work, this course emphasizes the exploration of visual problems.
